Midsummer Music Youth Camp
July 23-25, 2010

Professional development for young musicians ages 8-18,
of piano, strings, and chamber

The Midsummer Music Youth Camp will focus on professional development for the young musician-offering workshops, master classes, presentations, and a concluding orchestral concert performance for violin, cello, and piano.

Students will attend sessions to help them better prepare for competitions, become more aware of their stage presence, cope with big performance mistakes, and properly care for their musical instruments. Information about selecting a college, targeting scholarships and managing the application process to maximize a student's chances for success will also be offered. We cannot emphasize strongly enough that our camp is about much more than learning to play better. It clearly focuses on developing the whole musician; one who is talented and skilled at connecting with the audience, impressing the judges and winning support for their future.

The Steinway Society hopes that each attendee will emerge with a much greater appreciation for how to lay the groundwork for a winning career - as a flourishing musician, successful student, productive employee or creative entrepreneur.
